Halloumi Cheese
(Hellim Peyniri)
Halloumi Cheese
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Slice it up in 1 cm thick pieces. Soak into the spring water for about 5 minutes. Then drain and dry them with a paper towel. Heat up the frying pan. Pour the extra virgin olive oil and place the cheese slices in it. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Place them on a serving dish. Drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some oregano and crushed pepper.
You can serve this dish as an appetizer or for breakfast with sliced tomatoes and Turkish black olives.

I sometimes, dust with flour before frying. Have you ever come across this? I think it really adds something, but I'm open for debate as I like to be authentic as possible?
Hi Amy,
No, I haven't but, why not! I may try it in the future:)
Being Cypriot - we have hellim in a lot of things :) You must try it sliced and placed on top of toast that has been spread with honey... It's heavenly!
Sounds heavenly, Cansu:)
